If you've purchased it from the PS3 Store, simply copy it over to your computer and they files should be there

Or, if by purchased you mean illegally downloaded, then there is no helping you here

Use UltraISO or Alcohol 120% - they are much more reliable and use no compression techniques at all

The only thing I can think of is hard resetting your PSP (hold down the power button for about 5 seconds) then when you turn it down, hold R to enter Recovery Mode. In there go -

Configuration > Game folder homebrew > then select 1.50 Kernal

Theres not been anything said on customisation yet, so its iffy. You can hide corrupt icons through the Recovery Menu.

Ok because I had a custom font and gameboot and now none of them work but oh well i guess patience is a virtue.

Ok, I have an original 1.5 and a Current-Gen retail 2.81 unit. First, how do I tell if I can do this without bricking it? Second, can I do this on the 2.81, or do I need to try the 1.5?

Thanks in advance.

Save the disc-image as either .ISO, .BIN or .IMG. People have different results with each format so I recommend you try it with each format! Make sure it is uncompressed and a perfect copy! Make sure you have no other programs running whilst ripping, it can AND will mess up your rip!
To make things easier, place your "popstation" folder on the desktop, with "cygwin1.dll" inside and the "EBOOT.PBP" & "KEYS.BIN" files from Hot Shots Golf 2 and your recently ripped disc-image
Now the tricky part. Go to START > RUN then type "cmd" (without the quotes obviously). This should bring up a DOS prompt. Type "cd Desktop\popstation" (without quotes, again).

The next step is to RENAME the "EBOOT.PBP" to "BASE.PBP"
We're there now - in the command prompt type "popstation yourfilename.yourfileextension" and let it run

For example -

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...mandprompt.png

The image above is an excellent example of how to run popstation and type in the correct command, follow it and you should be fine
Now, create a new folder under "GAME" on your Memory Stick and copy the generated "EBOOT.PBP" and "KEYS.BIN" in and run! Enjoy completely ****ing Sony over in every possible way!
Items 2 and 6 in this list need a little clarification.
2) The image file should be in your popstation directory with the cygwin1.dll, base.pbp, etc.

6) The syntax is "popstation <image_file>" e.g. "popstation castlevania.iso" as in the readme. Your example in the cmd.exe image (you named your image file driver.bin?!) is confusing.

Otherwise, great info! Much clearer and than most tutorials of this kind.

Knowing how to use a CLI would be helpful. An 'argument' is something after the command. In this case, typing "popstation resident evil.bin" means you have two arguments, 'resident' and 'evil.bin', which is one too many. Either rename the file so that there is no space, or use quotes to show the shell that you are passing one argument, not two.

No.

There is only one instance of "SCUS94476" in the image. So not sure what your seeing there.

I do see there is another set of numbers "94476" together, but they are preceded by the letters "UP9000-NPUI", which is not a PSX disc ID number.

Only change the numbers to the one that is the disc ID.

I've got a pretty important question (Well, to me anyway :P)...

I'm working on my backups I have of all my PSX games, and making custom Icons (So far the ones released up till now look kinda...meh to me) and I was wondering if there was -any- way to make the images larger that 12k for ICON0.png and 4k for PIC0.png.

If not, then I guess it's no huge deal...Icould always make the info screen popup an empty, transparent png, and put the text directly onto PIC1.png, but I rather like it looking a little more professional than that.

I ask mostly because once I'm done (I have over 204 games I'm making Icon sets for) I want to release them for people to use if they want.

Yes, other games from the store have been reported to be working

Number two I'll fix, but whats wrong with 6? Driver is a game from the Playstation and it was a .BIN file :confused:

Thanks in advance.

Your original 1.50 is suitable for this, providing you want to give up a RETAIL 1.50!

It is very hit and miss, keep trying. Use different formats each time and basically, just keep trying it.

NTSC games have much more success rate than PAL, so use those. BIN also seems more stable than ISO, but IMG is better for NTSC > PAL conversion.

It is confusing, keep trying and trying!

Thanks also Synthesis for the great guide.

Another problem which occurs and should be noted is that when typing the rip filetype (iso, bin, img) it should b in CAPITAL LETTERS ( I.E driver.BIN ) - I think I had problems when using small letters. A simple enough mistake to make.

Yea, cant get over how great this is.

The dimensions are listed on the Front page post, but here is the info again for anyone too lazy to look :P

* ICON0.PNG 144 x 80 pixels 12k Selection icon (To further detail, this is the Icon that will show as the Save Game when using the PSP built-in memory manager, and what will be shown as the selectible menu when you look at the games on your Memory Card.)

* PIC0.PNG 310 x 180 pixels 4k Blurb (This is usually what gives a little detail about the game, right over the background, but I've been having difficulty making it look nice, AND give some information, so I've taken to simply putting everything on the PIC1.png)

* PIC1.PNG 480 x 272 pixels Background (What you see as a new background when you select the item from the menu.)

Now...if only I could get it to be more than 4k for the PIC0.png, I'd be sitting pretty :P

HELP! i upgraded to 3.02 OE-A from 2.71 SE-C, but now it wont let me run anything! when i try to run homebrew, backup isos and even UMDs, the psp just turns off.

Also, when i try to check system settings, i get an error and a blue screen says system settings corrupt, press circle to restore default settings. but it wont do anything when pressed.

Can anyone help me? I wanna upgrade to OE-B! Im usually really good at these things, this is the first time ive had a real problem.

Haha, good point.. I was originally confused whether or not the cd image should be in the popstation dir, and I misinterpreted driver.bin as you saying you should run popstation on the cygwin dll instead of the game.

So I retract that suggestion =)

One question I have now is, is it actually risky to upgrade a 1.50 PSP to OE-B? If it can be downgraded back to 1.50 later, why is OE-B risky to some people?
I got a 1.50 over a year ago, put Squarez on it, played that, and paid no attention to the PSP scene afterwards.. So maybe I'm missing something?

Can someone help me please. I've been at this for a couple hours, the install and everything went perfect but I am having trouble getting Hot Shots Golf to play, or any other game I have.

What folder to the games go in? I thought it was Game302, is that correct? Also, the only thing that needs to be in the folder is the eboot and key file right?

I have a good copy of Hot shots that should work. I am getting an error "80010002" though, right atfer the first screen comes up it exits me back to the xmb. How would I fix the licence issue if thats the problem? None of the PS3 store games work, neither do the ones I made.

Can someone help me figure out why my games don't work, I would hate to think I did all this for nothing, I made it this far. Thanks in advance.

Thank god. I just put it in the wrong folder, it goes in the "GAME" folder. It's working, I'm good to go. :)

Sharkey, put it in GAME. Make sure you have enabled 1.50 kernel in Recovery (uses GAME for 1.50 eboots; worked fine with RE2 when I tried it last night, when it worked that is...)

I am having a problem to which I have yet to see any answer for anywhere on this site. Last night I ripped, popstationed and installed RE2 to my memory stick. Played it and it worked fine.

Today, I ripped MGS, did the same thing, go to try it, get CA000005 error. Go to play RE2, same shit. What the hell is a CA000005 error? And secondly, how do I go about fixing it?

As well, how many people who have the emulator working perfectly, used a title from the PS Store that they purchased and installed properly to the PSP from their PS3?

---ADDED----

Holy shit I am a god damn moron... Been forgetting to copy Keys.bin to the directory on the memstick... Wow I feel stupid...
